American Craft Beer Week celebrates the independent spirit, craftsmanship, and community fostered by the American craft brewer. In that spirit the brewers of Free State beer, Blind Tiger, and 23rd street offer up the Full Kimono, an Imperial Red Ale. Brewers Geoff Deman (Free State), John Dean (Blind Tiger), and Bryan "Bucky" Buckingham (23rd Street), designed the recipe together and collaboratively brewed the three batches of Full Kimono at each other's breweries on three successive days. At over 10% ABV and hopped to the hilt with more hops than any of the three breweries have previously employed in a single batch, the Full Kimono is something special indeed. Full of hop flavor but balanced by a full malt backbone, the Full Kimono lays bare the "magic" of the brewer's art for all to enjoy. Be sure to travel to each brewery and enjoy the subtle differences between each stellar brew.
